Lindsay Lohan’s own father leaks sad cry for help

In yet another sad, and entirely avoidable chapter in the closing pages of what used to be Lindsay Lohan’s career, a tape has emerged that claims to be proof of just how badly the actress needs professional help.

Lindsay’s dysfunctional dad, Michael, has now sold Radar a three-minute tape in which his 23-year old daughter sobs and whines like a child.

And this, we’re assured, is merely part one of a series of tapes he may also release.

Most of the call is Lindsay sobbing and crying, but she does finally manage to mutter some words; She complains about all her troubles with ex-lover, Sam Ronson, but as you’d expect most of the problems are centered on her…

“Mommy says that I’m worse than you were,” a tear-soaked Lindsay is heard to say to her dad. “And she’s defending…She doesn’t back me…she doesn’t stand by me.”

There’s a short pause for more sobbing, then Lindsay resumes, “No one cares about me. They don’t, by the way. It’s about how they feel – not how I feel.” she kvetches. “It’s not about me. It’s never been about me, unless I fight for it.”

Daddy Lohan’s been claiming for months that he wants to help Lindsay, and even conduct a forced intervention to save her and [what's left of] her career from an oncoming bus-load of life-changing harm…And then he does this.

The man makes his scary ex-wife look almost normal.

If you’ve heard the tape, let’s hear what you think?…
